745 Up to No Good (2/2)

”What present? I'm a little curious! Xiaonian, go and get it and show Tuan Tuan and me!” Lin Nuan smiled and said with Tuan Tuan in her arms.

Knowing that Lin Nuan was trying to help Lu Jinnan, Bai Xiaonian glared at Lin Nuan behind Lu Jinnan's back!

How could Bai Xiaonian not be angry with her hand gripped in the palm of the shameless Lu Jinnan, especially with her friend helping him?

Bai Xiaonian's ears flushed from anger, resembling the red skies on a summer evening.

Lu Jinnan was proud to his bones, yet he had come here and lowered his stance with Bai Xiaonian—Lin Nuan knew this, and Bai Xiaonian knew this even better.

The two of them had each other in their hearts, so when Lu Jinnan came, Lin Nuan could guess how things would turn out, and Bai Xiaonian could also guess it.

Precisely because she could guess how things would turn out, Bai Xiaonian's ears turned red against her will.

With the large, scalding hand gripping hers, no words were needed. The masculine scent was enough to capture Bai Xiaonian's heart, making her heart rate accelerate and causing her blood to flow faster.

”Let's go!” Lu Jinnan lowered his voice, bewitching Bai Xiaonian.

Bai Xiaonian's heart beat even faster, the way it did when she was instigated to play truant or do something bad back in high school. Her heart thumped furiously.

”Just go, you're just going to look at a present. Are you afraid?”

Lin Nuan helped Lu Jinnan with her gentle voice, clearly enjoying the show and unable to wait for things to escalate.

Unwilling to show cowardice, Bai Xiaonian nodded, then forcefully pulled her hand from Lu Jinnan's grasp. ”I'll be right back!”

Lin Nuan nodded.

Although Lu Jinnan's hand was empty now, the sound of the chair scratching against the floor filled up his heart, making him feel joyful.

Lu Jinnan followed behind Bai Xiaonian. Upon opening the door, they came face-to-face with Fu Huai'an, who had come back with Tuan Tuan's cartoon schoolbag in his hand.

”Are you leaving?” Fu Huai'an asked.

”Lu Jinnan said he has a farewell present for me! We're going to get it…” Bai Xiaonian's ears turned even redder.

Actually, she could totally have asked Lu Jinnan to bring the present into the room for her!

She had taken the extra step of going out to retrieve it with him because she knew Lu Jinnan had something to say, and she wanted to hear if what Lu Jinnan had to say was what she wanted to hear.

In Bai Xiaonian's heart, Fu Huai'an was a man who was hard to read and deal with. She feared Fu Huai'an would see through her intentions, so she lowered her gaze and dared not look at that man with a heavy presence.

”En! No hurry… Xiao Nuan and I will order the food first!”

Watching as the two of them left, Fu Huai'an closed the door, then said with a smile to Lin Nuan, ”I guess the two of them won't be coming back! Do you want to eat hotpot here or eat something lighter?”

Fu Huai'an remembered how Lin Nuan was a little heaty, and her throat was hurting. She had just gotten a little better today… so Fu Huai'an wanted Lin Nuan to eat something a little lighter.

”I don't think so!” Lin Nuan was in doubt. ”At most, they'll talk a little longer. It's not a good idea if they come back to find that we've left, right?”

Fu Huai'an pulled out a chair and sat down, then retrieved Tuan Tuan's little water bottle from his school bag. He poured a cup of water for Tuan Tuan and placed it before him with his large hand, then said with a hint of a smile, ”Do you want to bet on this with me?”

Seeing Fu Huai'an's expression, for some reason, Lin Nuan felt tempted. She bit her lip and asked, ”What are we betting on?”

Fu Huai'an glanced at Tuan Tuan meaningfully, his throat vibrating. ”To have the other party do whatever we ask, with nothing being out of bounds!”

Feeling that Fu Huai'an's glance at Tuan Tuan implied that he was up to no good, Lin Nuan thought to herself, this… gamble was a little too big!
